A day of drama as Rangers going to administration. Have you got any

message for Rangers fans today? Craig Whyte and the tax authorities

do battle in court over who gets to appoint a administrator. Fans

express their disappointment. not just the history of the club.

You see the families that come here together... A yacht said? -- are

you upset? It is business as usual for the players - but for how much

longer? Today, the administrators said they would do as much as they

can to keep the club going. We recognise the history of the club

and what it means to people around the world. While this is a sad day

for Rangers fans, the administration address is the

uncertainty that has been hanging over the club. We will be having

full analysis. Also, the death of Declan Hainey at

the hands of his mother. A report on their health care and social

worker says that things should have been done differently.

And Sir Chris Hoy says that a gold medal would be the perfect way to

end his Olympic career. The Rangers were formally placed

into administration today after the tax man went to court to speed up

the process. The club had already signalled its attention to enter

the administration. Today, HMRC asked the Court of Session to

appoint an administrator and, after legal debate, readers were allowed

It is not just the history of the club. You see the families have

come here together. A outside Ibrox, the reality of administration hits

home for Rangers supporters. Inside the ground, the full glare of the

media focuses on those now in charge. Why else to do is a very

sad day for Rangers and its fans, the administration address is the

uncertainty that has been hanging over the club. That will give

stability to the club the order for a club to move forward. Added any

message for Rangers fans today? the centre of the drama, Craig

Whyte. He travelled to the training ground today. Across the country,

the battle for Rangers' future direction intensified at the Court

of Session. HMRC wanted a court- appointed administrator. Revenue

officials left the building after backing down, Rangers have been

able to install their preferred administrator. We will have to face

that Rangers will be an administration. We will come out of

this are fitter, stronger business. His predecessor, the man who gave

his name to Murray Park and he was in charge when Rangers a mass their

huge debt, spoke of his disappointment and surprise at the

timing of the administration, insisting that Craig Whyte was

fully aware of the club's tax liabilities when he took over. The

way they have to do the fans is shocking. Craig Whyte has not been

honest. David Murray has done a runner and left Craig Whyte with a

white elephant. I blame David Murray and the board. The past

board, for everything that has happened. The MSP for Govan is

concerned about local jobs. Rangers is a big employer in my

constituency. This is a very anxious time. For those people who

have jobs at the club, now that an administrator has been appointed, I

hope that a way forward can be found that all-out Rangers to meet

its obligations but allow the club to continue in business as well.

This weekend, Rangers are due to feature -- to meet, neck. It is an

early challenge for administrators to ensure that game goes ahead. Is

there any likelihood that the game will not go ahead? For any game to

go ahead, it requires a big policing presence. Strathclyde

Police were saying that they as a public body needed a firm

commitment from the administrators that the money would be in place to

pay them to police the game. If not, there was a question mark over

whether the fixture could go ahead. The administrators are saying that

this is a priority, the money is in place and it will be saved -- it

will be paid. The mere fact that this was a question at all as a

sign of the Times here. Extraordinary events of the day

have resulted in great confusion over what might happen now. Douglas

Fraser was looking at it. Administration is not the end of

the world, even though some of Ibrox may feel that way. The

administrators are now in charge. Their first priority - to keep

trading. That means the team should turn out if they've managed to

guarantee the police fees for There are two main twists and the

story. The simpler option as a CVA. The administrator could sell on the

assets of the club, that his Ibrox Stadium, the training ground,

player contracts, and Craig Whyte, the former chairman of Rangers,

will want to buy them. That is unless someone else has a better

They will have all we can seeing yet they can agree a CVA. It could

get messier. The tax authorities are not keen to help Craig Whyte

through this process. They are pursuing large unpaid bills,

running into the millions. They have been run up in the months

since he took over. The tax authorities have the power to

disrupt and delay plans to move Rangers out of administration

cleanly, if only to send a message to other football clubs. Eventually,

administrators will want to sell on assets to a different company,

though possibly controlled by some familiar faces. Craig Whyte is in

an advantageous position as the director and major shareholder. I

understand he might have security of a number of the assets as well.

If Rangers can be salvaged, what are the options for others taking

control? It is possible they might look at other people forming a new

company, and there is a potential for a shareholder model which has

worked successfully or worse -- successfully overseas but we have

not seen it applied in the UK today it -- to date. If Craig Whyte ran

up �9 million of unpaid tax bills since May, I would he run a revive

Rangers if he again control of that? Still to come - a multi-

billion-pound cash injection to help vulnerable women and families.

The architect behind Aberdeen pause might Union Terrace Gardens

Development wants people to fall in love with his design. We hear what

his next four Rangers players after hearing what administration could

mean for them. And Sir Chris Hoy says he is planning to get a gold

medal once or twice again this summer. An independent report into

the murder of toddler debt when Hainey by his drug-addict mother

Kimberley says social workers should have acted sooner.

-- Declan Hainey. It concluded that Kimberley Hainey was devious and

had filled everyone around her. Only Kimberley knows how and when

he died and why she left his decomposing body in his cot for as

long as six months. These photos show the mess and squalor that

police found when he arrived at a flat. -- when they arrived. The

report points out that, in the first year of his life, things

appear to be going well. A two- year-old, we had a thriving little

boy. Something happened thereafter. Alarm bells were not being run by

anyone, by family, by the community, by any agency. The child was not

pursued in a way that would have been the case had there been Prior

concerns. The report paints Kimberley Hainey as an intelligent

but devious woman who managed to hide what was going on. The last

time social workers saw Declan alive, they reported that he was

pale and listless. Their third this on to health workers. They made

several attempts to try and see Declan. Every time, Kimberley

Hainey made a plausible excuse not to come. The report makes 16

recommendations in all. The key All services in contact with the

families see the child beyond adult service user. If you're that mental

health professional and working worth of Honourable adult and there

is a child involved, you have to think, child. As her Declan's

mother said to jail term, the conclusion was that more could have

been done to protect the toddler. A man who murdered his four-month-old

baby daughter has been sent inst to 15 years in jail.

Craig Jamieson was convicted of killing his daughter at their home

in Glasgow. He'd already been convicted of killing at a previous

trial. That was quashed after it was revealed that the judge had

misdirected the jury. There has been rail disruption in Scotland.

Staff based at a control centre in Glasgow walked out in a row over

career progression. It follows a three-day strike by the Rail,

Maritime & Transport union over the same issue at Christmas. Tommy

Sheridan has been back in court to continue his battle against the

News Of The World. The publishers appealing the

decision to award Tommy Sheridan �200,000 in damages in 2006. The

paper asked to have the politician's subsequent conviction

for perjury to be adequate -- to be added to the case. We are happy

with the outcome today and it is ironic that, in 2007, this place --

this case was listed because of an investigation into perjury. That

has happened again because of a police investigation into perjury

at the criminal trial that took place in 2010. It is a matter of

record and fact that the three individuals who are under

investigation are all former News Of The World employees. Over �6.5

million worth of lottery funding is to be spent helping Scottish

families deal with domestic abuse. The money will be given to 18

projects across Scotland. Every year in Scotland, there is 50,000

recorded incidents of domestic abuse. It is estimated that one in

five women suffer at some stage in their lives. Save a love with her

husband for 17 years before deciding enough was enough. There

were times where he had me pinned to the floor, he had be pinned up

against the wall. He did used to hit the children quite a lot and

If you do decide to leave, they will help you.

A look now at what else has been happening across the country this

Tuesday. Hauliers facing 170% fare increase

will be offered financial help. The move should limit rises to a

maximum of 50% with firms in at the Western Isles.

Taxis and private cars will not be allowed into Edinburgh's Waverley

station from the end of July. Network Rail says it is banning

vehicles to complied security legislation.

The Stromeferry bypass will not reopen this week as hoped.

Engineers explained that the cliff on one side of the road was still

unstable. In Orkney, but denied the Benz

looks set to become a less regular chore. For the council is beginning

trials of fortnightly rubbish collections. Like many local

authorities, they are set to move away from weekly up lifts in a bid

to save cash. The neolithic village of scarab

Bray has been voted one of the UK's must-see attractions. This side was

one of just eight to receive a merit award from Arras coach tour

operator. The Forestry Commission plans a

four and a half million pound investment forward and tourism. It

includes a new visitor complex and upgrades elsewhere.

There was even more romance than usual in the air at Gretna today.

48 couples chose St Valentine's Day to tie the knot in are the

undisputed marriage capital of Scotland. Could it is our first

time in Scotland. The most North we have ever been.

And there is more on those and other stories on the BBC Scotland

website. The New York architect behind the

proposed redevelopment of Aberdeen's Union Terrace Gardens

says he wants the public to fall in love with his design. Charles

Renfro is in the north-east just days before a referendum on the

controversial City Garden project. It is still a work-in-progress, but

this is the vision. The walk- through, produced by a new work

architects imagines a bright summer's day in Aberdeen. We are

told the design is multi- seasonal, taking into account that it might

occasionally rain or snow. video shows aspects of the park

that you cannot experience through drawings. Charles Renfro in

Aberdeen today. A referendum over whether the city garden project

takes place over the coming weeks. -- whether it will go ahead takes

place over the coming weeks. I hope people are already in love with it.

We also hope that it will help people make up their minds if they

are undecided. But not everyone is in love with it. For a referendum

promises to be tight. This is just flashy P R that we're

getting. It is no great substitute for the park we have got here.

Union Terrace Gardens is an integral part of the heritage of

Aberdeen. Once we lose this Park, Aberdeen will be changed forever.

It will be changed for the worse. Charles Renfro reiterated that he

believes what his company has in mind for Aberdeen city centre would

come in under the �140 million budget.

A 78-year-old man jailed for breaching a court order over

poaching has been told he can avoid custody by behaving. Stanley Murray

of Aberdeen was banned from a section of the River Don in 1968.

He was released from a jail sentence last year. Appeal judges

have said he could again be jailed if the issue arises again.

As we heard earlier, Rangers are now officially in administration.

now officially in administration. That means a ten-point penalty in

the Scottish Premier League and possible player redundancies. For

more on today's developments, let's cross to Ibrox Stadium. The team

have been hit with this ten point penalty but I'm sure the immediate

concern for the players is their future. What have they been told?

The players had a meeting with the Rangers owner Craig Whyte this

morning at Murray Park. At that meeting, they sought to address and

to seek assurances on things like contracts, to find out whether

those would be honoured. I am told that Craig Whyte was initially

rather vaguer in terms of his answers. Ultimately, he did concede

that among the playing staff, but it will be almost inevitable but

there would be casualties. That was before administration had actually

been announced. The players have yet to hear from the administrators

themselves. And she also spoke to the former

Rangers director, Paul Murray, today. What did he have to say?

He was part of a grid that had an eleventh-hour attempt to buy the

club from Sir David Murray overlooked in favour of Craig Whyte.

He has been a long-time critic of Craig Whyte. If he said today that

he will be speaking to the newly- appointed administrators with a

view to finding out exactly what it would take to take control of the

club. If he said he would not be able to do it alone. He called on

all Rangers stakeholders to join together and try to find a way

forward for the club. He also asked the Insolvency Service to make

their plan known. Alastair Johnson, the former Rangers chairman, asked

them to get involved to look at the funding involved in Craig Whyte's

takeover. Paul Murray wants them to come out and say exactly what is

what. Hearts have now paid in full an

outstanding tax bill that threatened their existence. A

winding-up petition was published on 7th February, with HMRC giving

the Edinburgh club eight days to pay. Last year, Hearts were forced

to pay a bill in the region of �500,000 to defeat a similar order.

Livingston have appointed the former Falkirk and Hibs boss John

Hughes as their new manager. He is joined by another former Hibernian

employee, John Collins, who will take on the role of Director of

Football. The pair are keen to turn the fortunes of the club around

with a combination of experience and enthusiasm.

With John Collins working side by side, I said to him, get yourself a

new training pitch. It will inspire me and it will inspire these young

ones. Hopefully, we can bring success.

Well, Livi aren't involved, but tonight there are three fifth-round

replays in the Scottish Cup. You can hear full coverage of Queen of

the South against Aberdeen, Ross County against St Mirren and St

Johnstone against Hearts on Sportsound, BBC Radio Scotland,

a gold medal or gold medals at London 2012 this summer would be

the perfect end to his Olympic career. He's aiming to repeat his

Beijing triple gold success, and we'll see the best ever Chris Hoy

in the London Velodrome from where our Olympics correspondent sends

this exclusive report. The best cyclists in the world are

about to give the London Velodrome its competitive debut. The top

stars are here as the cycling world copper is an official London 2012

test event. One man's preparations are in particular focus. If will

this be the best ever Sir Chris Hoy?

Absolutely. You always have to be as better -- better than you were

before. That has always been my ambition, to improve.

If he didn't train here in at the London Velodrome this afternoon,

but this is the stage on which Sir Chris Hoy will hope to make his

Olympic dreams come true yet again. He is looking for a fairy-tale

ending to an already glittering career.

To me, it could be the perfect end to my career. I am not going to do

the 2016 Olympics. I will hopefully continue on after London, but not

necessarily for the next Olympics. This would be the end of file and

the career and to win another Olympic gold medal, or two or three,

ideally, in front of a home crowd, not many athletes get a chance to

do that. It is a massive chants. It would mean everything.

He has to qualify first, of course. We will find out just what kind of

shape he and the rest of our team are in when there - like when it

reaches its climax this weekend. He might not get him next Nahki has

a qualified yet. All to play for!

Let's get a summary of tonight's top stories...

Rangers are formally in administration after the taxman

went to court to speed up the process. After a legal debate,

Rangers were allowed to appoint their own administrator.

An independent report into the murder of toddler Declan Hainey by

his drug addict mother Kimberley says social workers should have

acted sooner. The review says that health workers should have

challenged his mother when she missed appointments.

Inflation is down to its lowest level for more than a year. It now

stands at 3.6%, showing that prices are still rising but not at the

same rate as before. The falling cost of clothing, footwear and and

some household goods helped to bring inflation down.

The Muslim extremist Abu Qatada is spending his first full day out of

jail but the government is still determined to deport him. A Home

Office minister is in Jordan for high level talks over whether he
